Yield

MicroStrategy stock (MSTR) has fallen a whopping 35% from its peak of $535, seen on November 21. The shares tanked to $340 on Tuesday before recovering to end the day’s trading at $353, according to Google Finance.
The Kobeissi Letter reported on Nov 27 that this equates to around $30 billion in market capitalization erased in just four trading days and is one of the firm’s largest four-day drops in history.
The big stock slump comes as Bitcoin pulled back around 9% from its all-time high on Nov. 22.

Moreover, MicroStrategy stock has fallen over four times more than Bitcoin over the past week following <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/retail-investors-still-not-here-will-their-arrival-push-bitcoin-btc-to-100k/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">retail FOMO</a> loading up on the shares prior to their peak, added Kobeissi, who stated:
<blockquote>
 “We’ve all heard that MicroStrategy is a ‘levered Bitcoin play’ but this is a whole new level of volatility for the Bitcoin proxy.”

It added that on one day alone last week, Nov. 20, retail investors bought around $42 million worth of MSTR, for a total of nearly $100 million worth of retail buying for the week.
<blockquote>
 “This marked the largest daily retail buy on record and was eight times higher than the daily average seen in October.”
</blockquote>
It added that over the past two months, MicroStrategy has outperformed Bitcoin by almost three times. However, over the last few days, “this correlation has broadened,” and MSTR is now trading with “significantly more volatility,” it was noted.
The firm currently holds 386,700 BTC worth around $36 billion. However, with a current market cap of $73 billion, the stock is still trading at more than twice its Bitcoin holdings, but the premium has narrowed.
<blockquote>
 “The most important question to ask here is if Saylor can continue to raise debt to buy Bitcoin,” asked the Kobeissi Letter.
</blockquote>
Saylor remains unperturbed, pointing out on X on Nov. 26 that the firm’s treasury operations delivered a BTC yield of 35.2%, providing a net benefit of 88,820 BTC to its shareholders.
